Open burning season in the Central Okanagan got underway Thursday, Oct. 1.
In order to reduce the impact on our air shed, open burning is restricted to those property owners that are eligible and have a permit from their local fire authority and only when air quality and venting conditions are appropriate.
Under Regional District and local fire bylaws when the fire hazard allows, permitted open burning may start Oct. 1 and must be complete on April 30.
